NOTE

1. The sites named here would fit in a circle of about 300 m. radius. The finds extend from just SE of Hagios Georgios (F4557) to (nearly) the cheese factory at F4558. I have placed the marker on the tract that Forsén and Forsén [2003] call 'S47/3'. However, this is a site with several components. I have listed the relevant finds using the Forséns' naming convention with their lat/lon pair and page number (a couple of redundant finds eliminated):
